To all of those who design underwear and decide to put the tag in the perfect spot to constantly get stuck in between my cheeks and cause severe irritation, I hope both sides of your pillow are always warm.
Edit: no I did not crap myself, that's henna stain!!
Seriously, who decides to put a tag right in the center and decide to have it freely hanging to where it can constantly get stuck and cause irritation? If you want me to buy your product maybe not give me a tag that constantly gets stuck in my crack 24/7 and gives you a friction rash.
I prefer brands that either print/iron the information directly on the fabric OR secures both if not all sides of the tag so it's not floating freely.
Tags like this one in the photo create a friction point and constantly irritate my skin to the point that the pain is unbearable because of how sensitive the skin is back there.
Finding decent daily underwear as a woman is hard enough as is, but add trying to find one with tags that won't irritate your skin makes the search so much harder. It already sucks that a majority of women's underwear is a polyester blend and the only reason for that is because manufacturing companies spend less money on polyester than cotton. I understand that polyester is more durable than cotton, but it's not worth it if I'm going to constantly get swamp crotch.
Nothing is more annoying than thinking you're overheating because you're wearing too many layers only to find out that is your underwear that's making you overheat. I have fibromyalgia which makes this so much worse
This isn't just annoying, it gives me a painful rash.
Now I know what you're all thinking "just cut the tag off", but I personally like having the cleaning information and the product ID number on it so if I love it I can find it again later. Also, some of these brands make the seam that holds the tag so recessed that you will cut the tag into thousands of shreds and/or some of the seams that are holding the underwear itself together before you actually get the whole tag off.
I can't just cut the length of the tag off because that will leave behind the part that was sewn to the underwear and will still rub. That's why I cut the threads that hold the tag to the underwear.
Sorry for the long rant, but the frustration with this has been building up over the years and today I reached my boiling point.
TL;DR: Seriously, why put a tag in the perfect spot for it to get wedged in between my cheeks and give me rug burn every time I move? It's not just annoying it actually gives me pain because the skin is so sensitive back there and i end up needing to change. The printed/ironed on labels are so much better or tags that have both if not all sides sewn to the fabric so it's not floating freely.
Finding a decent daily underwear as a woman is hard enough as is, but when you add on the challenge of looking for underwear with a tag that won't give you rub burn it makes it so much harder than it needs to be.
